**The American Institute of Mechatronics Engineers Club is hosting it's third annual mechatronics engineering fair, *Robotronica! ***

The fair is intended to be an educational and fun experience for incoming students at Chico State and the College of Engineering. Robotronica will also feature: capstone projects, robotics booths, and food.

The main event of this robotics fair will be full combat PLANT, Ant Weight, and Beetle Weight within our new 3/8" thick polycarbonate 6ft x 6ft arena!
